On Fri May 16, 2014, after a sustained struggle and series of illnesses, Surfstix (Rich's) Mom passed on........

Pebbles and I join the other members here in expressing our deepest condolences, Rich.
She raised you right, and you always tried to do right by her.......

We have had similar backgrounds, and similar family histories....
I just wanted to say, that over the months, I was continually impressed with the care and devotion you gave to your Mom...despite your own hardships.....

We're usually only lucky in life, to have one Mom...and you gave the best to her care, that anyone could, Rich.....

Our deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences, for you and your family's loss....
May she RIP, and may God watch over your extended families, in this time of grief....
